This is a collection of short stories discovered a few years after the death of Mr. L'Amour. The Introduction contains the detail of the find and the expected future publishing of two additional collections from this source.
The book title is taken from the third of fourteen stories set in the western United States. At eighteen pages it is the longest while "Riches Beyond Dreams" has only four. I would have named this short, short story "Where the Buckwheat Grows." Although very short, it is my favorite of this group.
If you appreciate Louis L'Amour's writings, you will enjoy these stories. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553576976, Paperback)

Where the real frontier begins...

A young cowpuncher stakes a claim that can only be sealed with fists and a .44 Colt.... A gunfighter, tired of violence, finds himself pushed down a trail of bloody revenge.... From purple sage to gambler's gold, from a seƱorita's tempting smile to a splash of blood in the dust, here are stories with a distinctive L'Amour twist.

A quiet farmer defends his honor in a moment of panic and luck...only to find true courage on the run from the dead man's brothers. A young drifter defends a lady's honor...and finds himself the quarry of a hanging posse. An aging marshal with a reputation as a crack shot faces a stranger who knows his secret. With relentless suspense and unforgettable drama, Louis L'Amour once again paints a vivid portrait of our western heritage that will live forever.
